Coming Home: And Understanding The Divine Reflection

When we turn inward to analyze the data that nature presents to the mind.

By penetrating below the senses,

We find not a world of solid, separate objects but a ceaseless process of change----

Matter coming together, dissolving, and coming together again in a different form.

Below this flux of things with “name and form,” however,

We find something changeless: an infinite, indivisible reality in which the transient data of the world cohere.

We may call this reality Brahman: the Godhead, the divine ground of existence.

This analysis of the phenomenal world tallies well enough with contemporary physics.

A physicist would remind us that the things we see “out there” are not ultimately separate from each other and from us;

we perceive them as separate because of the limitations of our senses.

If our eyes were sensitive to a much finer spectrum, we might see the world as a continuous field of matter and energy.

Nothing in this picture resembles a solid object in our usual sense of the word.

In examining our knowledge of ourselves, we make a similar discovery.

Instead of a single coherent personality, we find layer on layer of components---

Senses, emotions, will, intellect, ego---

Each in flux.

At different times and in different company,

the same person seems to have different personalities.

Moods shift and flicker, even in those of us who are emotionally stable;

Desires and opinions change with time.

Change is the nature of the mind.

When we observe this flow of thoughts and sensations,

We are drawn to the question“Then where am I?”

The parts do not add up to a whole; they just flow by.

Like physical phenomena, the mind is a field of forces,

No more the seat of intelligence than radiation or gravity is.

Just as the world dissolves into a sea of energy, the mind dissolves into a river of impressions and thoughts.

A flow of fragmentary data that do not hold together.

We learn about this not through logical conclusions but personal discoveries,

When we explore the mind,

testing each level of awareness by withdrawing consciousness to the level below.

In profound meditation, we find, that,

When consciousness is so acutely focused that it is utterly withdrawn from the body and mind,

It enters a kind of singularity in which the sense of a separate ego disappears.

In this state,

the supreme climax of meditation,

We discover a core of consciousness beyond time and change.

We can call it simply the Self.

But it is beyond any kind of description or label.

It is an "All revelatory" experience.

We acquire deeper knowledge through revelation and epiphanies.

We see the Divine presence in our everyday reality.

Singularity presents itself in all of it's diversity.

Being displays it's splendor and grandeur in infinite variety.

A deep sense of completion, peace and bliss is experienced.

We know that we have come home,

Finally.

We know that this world of phenomenon is a reflection of Divinity itself.

And we know that we were never separate,

We are One with it.

Be Blessed and Be Happy

Prologue or something !!

“Prabhu, how could u marry a normal human girl who came from a different timeline?“, Narad, who slightly crouched out of respect in front of the lying figure of Vishnu asked worriedly.

Vishnu, who had his eyes closed lying on his snake bed with one hand holding his head and the other resting on his waist and his face held a smile so beautiful that could even make the sky blush, slowly opened his eyes, “Narad what are you talking about?“, he asked.

“You know what i am talking about Prabhu. You know everything yet how could u ask me what's wrong?“, Narad said with a frown and gaining a small chuckle from Vishnu in response.

“The one marrying her is Krishna not me Narad“, Vishnu said.

“But Prabhu you are Krishna !“, Narad exclaimed.

Vishnu smiled again, “Narad speak clearly what seems to be the problem with Krishna marrying her?“

“The problem is she's just a normal human girl who got lost in time and You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead. No one else can be with you but Devi Lakshmi, Only her, the Prakriti can handle your splendor “, Narad talked worried about how the things would turn out if Krishna actually end up marrying the human girl.

“Narad, if she was just a normal human girl she would not have been lost in the time in the first place“, Vishnu said softly.

“Wh...What do you mean, Prabhu?“, Narad looked at Vishnu with a confused face.

“Narad, What makes you think that every girl existing in all these universes i created are not Devi Mahalakshmi herself? She is the Prakriti, She is everything and nothing. She is Me. Narad, the girl became the epitome of Mahalakshmi from the moment i started residing in her heart. She is not just a normal human being who cannot handle my splendor. She is Lakshmi who as you said, is the only one who can handle my splendor“, Vishnu said his smiling not fading even a bit as he looked at Narad.

“She was destined to marry Krishna because this is the statute of law“, Vishnu finished as he closed his eyes once again falling into his slumber leaving behind a confused and embarrassed Narad.

p.s - this is the prologue of 'gen z y/n in dwapar yug' if u couldn't tell

Chapter 5

"Isn't that the same girl you knocked out in that reception?" Shlokaa's father slyly looked up from his newspaper and chuckled

It's usually brown aunties and moms who are into gossip but in their house it was Shlokaa's father. Shlokaa's mom would be too busy and uninterested to bother but her husband would take out all the drama and masala to relish.

On her father's comment, Shlokaa just wanted to pull his cheeks so hard until he got the sign to be quiet. Just like aunties do when some kids pass cheeky replies to what they say. Yeah, weird brown folk tendencies and urges.

Jaya uneasily shifted on the sofa, sensing the tension to turn into a storm anytime now

"Shlokaa! Did you really do that? Please don't, I don't want any kind of trouble here!" her mother fumed "Come on, you people are in 11th grade and half the year is already gone! Even if you don't like Vilasini, it won't hurt to tolerate her for just over a year now. Besides, you have to prepare for the head girl post, too."

Shlokaa argued "Mom! My tournament is during that time, you know I can't miss it. I've been practicing for it since so long now!"

Shloka's mother glared at her and that was her cue to listen now. Her rage came from her mother, she knew it. She admired her for being so independent but hated her for ironically not letting her own daughter be so when it came down to taking decisions, even though she knew that her mother only wanted the best and she was trying as hard as anyone could. A fierce mother raising a fierce daughter. Volcanoes did erupt.

"Ok," her mother quietly said "you can do the tournament."

Shlokaa finally felt her breath come through and nodded, silently thanking her mother

"But only on one condition. You will start attending anger management classes from Monday."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Vilasini Ramakrishnan."

"Present."

Vilasini was sitting on the front seat, she had occupied it as soon as she had reached the class, which was earlier than anyone. She wanted to roam around her new school until the classes began on her first day. She liked doing this anyway, getting some alone time before she would charge headlong into her hurdles and life.

The class teacher (Vilasini thought she looked familiar) wished her, briefly nodding and that was it. No grand introduction to the class - this was no primary or middle school, after all. Vilasini felt relieved again. But it was short lived. Soon, Aditi and Shlokaa came running to the class.

"You girls are late to the class. Don't repeat this again or you will be standing out of class. Sit down fast now."

"Sorry, mom- I mean, ma'am." Shlokaa didn't even meet the class teacher's eyes as Aditi rushed to sit beside Vilasini

And that's when Vilasini saw it - their class teacher was Shlokaa's mother. Anyone could've guessed it. The same fixed, undying expression and way of carrying themselves, like a careful flame ready to dance and engulf.

Aditi mouthed a quick "I'm sorry, I have to be with Villu and help her with work or you'll have to" to Shlokaa, who she nodded and gave a terse thumbs up before settling herself on her seat far behind them.

Vilasini was quick to realize Aditi and Shlokaa's plan and arrangement. If they had come to the class early then the class teacher would've made Shlokaa sit with Vilasini to help her personally for catching up with work as she was a new student in her class.

Fair.

She didn't want to interact with Shlokaa either.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The interval bell rang and people, mostly boys, ran outside.

Vilasini sighed and opened her tiffin, continuing her discussion with Aditi who listened intently.

"So, Krishn ji is basically the Supreme Godhead and-"

"Actually, Ram ji is more of the perfect God."

Vilasini looked up to catch the one who had interrupted her. Shlokaa. Upon their eyes meeting, Shlokaa stirred ever so slightly, Vilasini thought she might've imagined it. But she held the gaze firm and so did she. She had never noticed it before but from this up close, how angular Shlokaa's face was.

"So calm, so gentle. Never a trickster or a thief." Shlokaa eyed her and continued

Aditi opened her mouth in horror - such talk of Shri Krishna in front of Vilasini!? Her cousin might just- but Vilasini quietly patted her hand to assure her.

"Meanwhile Krishn ji? He didn't even fight, he let the Pandavas and Kauravas do their thing and suffer in anguish." Shlokaa's eyes burnt silently

"It was their fight. Ram ji also only fought when it was his. But you know, what? Sita ji should've killed Raavan instead. Why let someone else fight for you, even if it is your husband? Didn't Durga defeat demons on her own? Didn't Shivshakti also fight side by side when the time demanded? If Ram Sita were equals then why should the man here just do? And then in the end even after rescuing her, he left her-"

"Guys, guys!?" Aditi came in between "We are literally talking about the same God, how does it matter? It was an epic of those times but in some version, Sita ji killed Sahasra Raavan too. It's all stories that we need to learn from and not fight over, right? They legit taught us how nobody wins in a war and here are you both ironically fighting. Y'all are missing completely the poin-"

But they weren't listening. They hadn't brought up this topic to rationally debate about it in the first place itself. In fact, they didn't even want to talk by throwing their faith and opinions on the other. They were talking to each other, this was just an excuse to do so.

"Big Krishn bhakt, huh? Well, your maakhan chor is big on giving people a second chance. Maybe you should, too." Shlokaa whispered

"And your Maryaada Purshottam never attacks people who haven't done any harm. Maybe you should learn a thing or two from him, too."

Clap, clap.

Somebody laughed behind them, clearly amused.

Manika emerged next to them, giggling "Wow, ladies. Nice talk! But I didn't know abnormal people could talk about Gods? Isn't it blasphemous or something? What ya say, lesbo?"

At that, whatever girls had been talking and eating their tiffins in the class looked up and turned towards them. "What?" one of them asked, incredulously

"Ahaha, that's right! Our new friend here is one of a kind! Won't you thank me for introducing you so amazingly to everyone, Villluuuuu?"

"Says the one who is a cheater." Vilasini spoke

The girls gasped louder and came closer to them.

"What the.. what the heck are you talking about?! Girls, don't listen to her! Just because her image is tarnished, she's dragging me into this. Ha, classic but unoriginal petty drama!"

"Oh, really, girliee?" Vilasini imitated Manika's accent "You don't remember Raman? The poor sweet guy you dated in your previous school while hooking up with countless other dudes?"

Manika became quiet. She wasn't expecting this. She could defend aggressively but they'd all see through it now.

"You.. you think you can get away with slut shaming me?"

"Oh no, darling. I really don't care about any of it, I'm a very liberal and sick bitch myself as you have already introduced me so thank you for that!" Vilasini winked and walked away as the crowd laughed and cornered Manika.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At dispersal after everyone had left the school, Manika escaped to that banyan tree where she often went and broke down.

She missed her little sister so much. The flashes. The-

Suddenly, she saw this small girl stuck above on the tree. No, not stuck. One hand clutched desperately on the branch, her body dangling, she was about to fall any moment. She let out a cry as Manika rushed reflexively and catched her. The girl started sobbing in her arms, still terrified from the shock.

"Shh, you're safe now, little one." Manika soothed her and caught herself crying too

"Sneha, where are you? SNEHA-" a deep voice called out and a boy in khaki pants and a messy man bun ran towards them. He was an inch shorter than Manika but appeared the same age.

Sneha jumped from Manika's arms to the boy's, saying "Bhaiya!! This didi saved me," she pointed up to the tree "I almost fell."

"Thank you. Thank you so much. I would've never forgiven myself if anything had happened to her." the boy said

"No, it's alright. She reminded me of my own sister."

"Ohh, didi?! Aapki bhi behen hain?? Meri age ki hain kya??? Can I come and play with her?" the little girl smiled her tears away

"Umm no.. she died in an accident last year."

The boy looked up, unsure of what to say. He couldn't imagine a day without his sister. This girl was so brave.

"I'm so-"

"Yeah, right. Thanks." Manika looked away, lifted her bag and turned to leave, clearly not in the mood to talk about it

"Ved."

"What?" Manika turned again

"The name of the person whose sister you saved the life of and because of which you saved him too." the boy made somewhat of an attempt to smile but it came out just as a stern but kind look. He held out his hand.

This boy clearly had no idea how saving worked, Manika thought. If it did work then Manika would have not thought of saving anyone else but her sister. But she couldn't. She refused to shake his hand and turned away again. One simple name enough to indicate a simple no.

"Manika."

Far in some distance, Shlokaa walked across with her mother with files in her hand. She saw the little girl in the boy's arms and Manika with them. She just rolled her eyes and moved on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Shlokaa Sharma. Everybody welcome our new friend!" the bald man held out his arms

Nobody in the lot put as much effort to say hello, few smiled, few just stared.

Great, they all looked more or less as screwed up as her.

Her mother's idea of these anger management classes had instantly repulsed her, but she'd do anything for the tournament.

"Sir, why are you beating around the bush and being so formal? The earlier she gets used to this the better. So, Shlokaa? Mommy issues or daddy issues? Or whole family issues?" someone leaned and asked dramatically

A roar of laughter burst. Shlokaa darted the eyes to the one who had asked such a question. It was the same boy who was with Manika. But how dare he make fun of her family? What ensued and what didn't was her personal thing. Nobody needed to invade and remark like it's the most casual thing in the world. She would've banged the chair on this boy's head but she just clenched her wrists instead and breathed.

"Now there, Ved. No need to be rude. And everyone, HUSH! But he does have a point, Miss Sharma. I don't mean to intervene, and healing is an individual process. We are just here to help each other. But the trigger is a valuable point to identify and-"

But Shlokaa wasn't listening. She had seen someone else in the room sitting in a round table fashion with everyone here. Another boy. A slender, well built one. His face somehow seemed awfully familiar but Shlokaa couldn't place it. She was carried away into thoughts for trying to recognize him but couldn't. Soon the class got over and everyone started leaving.

Shlokaa quietly went behind the boy. He went near his bicycle and jumped on it. Shlokaa quickly started her scooter and followed him.

The Killing of Kaṁsa

After Kaṁsa’s wrestlers expressed their determination, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the killer of Madhu, confronted Cāṇūra, and Lord Balarāma, the son of Rohiṇī, confronted Muṣṭika. Kṛṣṇa and Cāṇūra and then Balarāma and Muṣṭika locked themselves hand to hand, leg to leg, and each began to press against the other with a view to come out victorious. They joined palm to palm, calf to calf,…

"My Lord, O Supreme Lord, You are the supreme personified form of all benediction. Therefore, for one who abides in Your devotional service with no other desire, worshiping Your lotus feet is better than becoming king and lording it over a kingdom. That is the benediction of worshiping Your lotus feet."~Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.9.17

Ramchandra's life, God's activities, pastimes, if we hear, that means we are associating with Ramchandra. There is no difference between His form, His name, His pastimes, and Himself. He's absolute. Therefore either you chant the holy name of Rama or you see the statue of Rama, or you talk of His transcendental pastimes, everything, that means you are associating with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. We take advantage of these days when the incarnation of God appears or disappears, and we try to associate with him. Hawaii, March 27, 1969

If Krishna forgives all the sinners who surrender to him, is it not injustice to the persons affected by the sinners?

The concept of forgiveness in Hinduism is based on the principle of karma, which means that every action has consequences, and one has to bear the fruits of their actions. However, Krishna, being the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has the power to nullify the negative effects of the sins committed by his devotees if they surrender to him with a sincere heart.

Krishna himself says in the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verse 66:

"Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja

Ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ"

Translation: "Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear."

Krishna is compassionate and merciful, and he wants to save all his devotees from the cycle of birth and death. If someone surrenders to him with a genuine desire to change their ways and follow the path of righteousness, he will forgive their sins and purify their hearts.

However, it is important to note that forgiveness does not mean that the affected persons are not entitled to justice. The law of karma ensures that every action has a consequence, and the affected persons will receive justice in due time. Krishna's forgiveness is meant to liberate the sinner from the bondage of karma, not to deny justice to the affected persons.

Furthermore, Krishna expects his devotees to take responsibility for their actions and make amends for the wrongs they have committed. He says in the

Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 9, Verse 27:

"yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi yaj juhoṣi dadāsi yat

yat tapasyasi kaunteya tat kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam"

Translation: "Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform—do that, O son of Kuntī, as an offering to Me."

This means that Krishna expects his devotees to live a life of integrity and righteousness, and to make amends for their past mistakes by serving him and helping others. In this way, they can purify their hearts and make progress on the path of spiritual evolution.

Krishna's forgiveness is a manifestation of his mercy and compassion, but it does not negate the law of karma or the need for justice. His forgiveness is meant to liberate the sinner from the cycle of karma and help them progress on the path of spiritual evolution, but it is the responsibility of the sinner to take ownership of their actions and make amends for their past mistakes.

In the Gīta-govinda, by Jayadeva Gosvāmī, one gopī tells her friend, “Kṛṣṇa is the reservoir of all pleasure within this universe. His body is as soft as the lotus flower. And His free behavior with the gopīs, which appears exactly like a young boy’s attraction to a young girl, is a subject matter of transcendental conjugal love.” A pure devotee follows in the footsteps of the gopīs and worships the gopīs as follows: “Let me offer my respectful obeisances to all the young cowherd girls, whose bodily features are so attractive. Simply by their beautiful attractive features they are worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa.” Out of all the young gopīs, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the most prominent.

🌹 Bhagavad-Gita as It is - 459 🌹 ✍️ Sri Prabhupada, 📚 Prasad Bharadwaj 🌴 Chapter 11 - Viswaroopa Sandarsana Yoga - 45 🌴 45. adṛṣṭa-pūrvaṁ hṛṣito ’smi dṛṣṭvā bhayena ca pravyathitaṁ mano me tad eva me darśaya deva rūpaṁ prasīda deveśa jagan-nivāsa 🌷 Translation : After seeing this universal form, which I have never seen before, I am gladdened, but at the same time my mind is disturbed with fear. Therefore please bestow Your grace upon me and reveal again Your form as the Personality of Godhead, O Lord of lords, O abode of the universe.

🌹 Purport : Arjuna is always in conﬁdence with Kṛṣṇa because he is a very dear friend, and as a dear friend is gladdened by his friend’s opulence, Arjuna is very joyful to see that his friend Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and can show such a wonderful universal form. But at the same time, after seeing that universal form, he is afraid that he has committed so many offenses to Kṛṣṇa out of his unalloyed friendship. Thus his mind is disturbed out of fear, although he had no reason to fear. Arjuna therefore is asking Kṛṣṇa to show His Nārāyaṇa form, because He can assume any form. This universal form is material and temporary, as the material world is temporary. But in the Vaikuṇṭha planets He has His transcendental form with four hands as Nārāyaṇa.

There are innumerable planets in the spiritual sky, and in each of them Kṛṣṇa is present by His plenary manifestations of different names. Thus Arjuna desired to see one of the forms manifest in the Vaikuṇṭha planets. Of course in each Vaikuṇṭha planet the form of Nārāyaṇa is four-handed, but the four hands hold different arrangements of symbols – the conchshell, mace, lotus and disc. According to the different hands these four things are held in, the Nārāyaṇas are variously named. All of these forms are one with Kṛṣṇa; therefore Arjuna requests to see His four-handed feature.
